- Led a Design of Experiments project with several factors, to find the root cause and sources of variation resulting in FPY of 86% from 39% for one of the manufacturing process.- Using JMP, conducted a 2 factor DOE on the reaming process to find the optimal reaming speeds & feeds for a low Surface Finish- Created a visual dashboard using Excel Pivot Chart to report non-conformances metrics that led the improvement efforts eventually reducing the top defect by 70%- Performed First Article Inspection (FAI), Layout Inspection using CMM, Optical Comparator & other measuring devices for a quick turnaround from sample orders to production orders- Used Statistical Regression to find the root cause for a new product runout problem, reduced the defect rate from 50% to 5%- Coordinated with suppliers to test & find best cutting tools using 2 Sample Hypothesis Testing & ANOVA in JMP- Conducted process capability analysis (Cp,Cpk) to compare capability for 2 different machines - Executed a Layout Kaizen simulating different layouts and moving away from process to cellular layout, which led to an increase in the utilization of operator time and improved flow in one of the manufacturing areas- Facilitated Changeover Kaizens reducing setup times from 50 Mins to 10 Mins (80%) and 40 Mins to 15 Mins (62%)- Led a Standard Work Kaizen in a 2-Machine Cell to balance the work content with one operator thus increasing the operator utilization by 40%- Accomplished a timely completion of a Plant Layout project by using Gantt Chart spanning 2 months in the QC and Shipping Area, creating 2 U-cells, a semi-finished goods area, and a finishing cell

• Built & implemented New Processes from scratch & established Standard Operating Procedure for the complete ordering through delivery processes in the warehouse. Also Defined the Process KPIs and ensured the KPI targets are met.• Analyzed, Modified & Streamlined the existing processes by using Corrective Action Preventive Action resulting in the reduction of bottlenecks that hampered faster order processing. • Performed Pareto Analysis to find the root cause of the bottlenecks like Shipping Delays, Delay in Dry Cleaning, Unbalanced Process.• Using Solidworks 2D, Modified the warehouse layout, saving inventory space by 20%.• Led 5S activities independently, establishing continuous flow and a better work environment.• Researched techniques for optimizing delivery routes and effective resource allocation which resulted in cost reduction by $9000 projected annually.
